Studio head David Polfeldt has confirmed that he is leaving Ubisoft Massive later this year, after 17 years at the studio.
Ubisoft Massive is based in Sweden and is responsible for the Tom Clancy’s The Division series, the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, and the recently announced Star Wars game.
Last year Polfeldt announced he was stepping down from his managing director role but planned to return to a new position after a six-month break. However, it has now been reported that he has submitted his six-month resignation earlier this year and will be leaving the company for good. The details were shared in Hit Points (via VGC).
Polfeldt told Hit Points that the increase in staff at the studio was the major driving factor behind his decision. “I think my philosophy and my skills work well for a certain kind of group of a certain kind of size,” he said. “I don’t think I’m the right manager for what the studio has become. I’m perfectly at peace with it.”
